BTW, do you have something for us to look at like:
A voter ID card for Jesus issued by the roman procurator office of Jerusalem
A DNA analysis confirming the blood on the Shroud of Turin is from a viable haploid human being
God acknowledging his existence in glowing red letters on the upcoming full moon that say I AM THAT I AM
Well, yes, this is what I am getting at.
You won't get CCTV footage or DNA samples as evidence of God. So, what would constitute enough "proof" or "evidence" for atheists to believe in God, or at least to consider God as the most credible explanation for the existence of the universe and life on earth?

Well, Boru, since you ask, my own view of God is the Biblical God. That is as universal as it comes, so should satisfy you on that count. But for the purpose of this topic, I am referring to God as the Creator of the universe, the First Cause. Whether he is a personal God who answers prayers etc. is not relevant. My question is, specifically, what would it take for an atheist to believe in a Creator?
